Blood on the Strings / 弦の血

KAGEKŌ — KAGE Solo Scream Track
Mood: Rage, Defiance, Raw

---

[Scream — heavy riff]

[VERSE][Scream]
Cut my palm on the strings — don't care
Blood runs down the fretboard, keeps me there
You asked if I'm okay — laughable
I'm alive when I'm bleeding, that's the truth

Every chord I rip, every note I choke
Street kid made good on a broken spoke
They whisper I'm dangerous — damn right I am
I'm the monster you made with a thrown-out damn

[CHORUS][Scream]
俺を止めてみろ — try to stop me
I'll scream til my throat gives out
血が出るまで — til the blood runs
I was born in the gutter, I'll die on this stage
Nobody saved me — I saved myself

[VERSE][Scream]
Dark hair in my face, can't see tomorrow
Don't need tomorrow — I got this sorrow
Turned it to fuel, turned it to fire
Every rejection built me higher

You threw me away — 覚えてる (I remember)
Now I'm the one you pretend to remember
This guitar's all I had when I had nothing
Now it's my weapon, my voice, my fucking everything

[CHORUS][Scream]
俺を止めてみろ — try to stop me
I'll scream til my throat gives out
血が出るまで — til the blood runs
I was born in the gutter, I'll die on this stage
Nobody saved me — I saved myself

[BRIDGE][Scream]
(spoken, quiet — then explosion)
They said I'd be dead by twenty-two...
二十二 — I'm still here
They said I'd never make it out...
ここにいる — right fucking here

[SCREAM — full, raw, held]
AAAAAAAAAAAAA —— まだ終わらない — NOT DONE YET!

[CHORUS][Scream — double time]
俺を止めてみろ — try to stop me!
I'll scream til my throat gives out!
血が出るまで — til the blood runs!
I was born in the gutter, I'll die on this stage!
Nobody saved me — I saved myself!
俺を止めてみろ — KAGE IS HERE!

[OUTRO][Scream — fading, exhausted]
Strings cut deep...
血が出る...
Still screaming...
Still here...
